Struggling to find the bit where the cups are explained. Anyone got a brief explanation on how they work, just debating if I wanna enter that
If you played last year, you would have been in a cup and they are run the same way.
It's a little bit fluid at the moment as it depends of final numbers. Hopefully we'll get the magic number of 32 runners, which is ideal for cup comps. If we reach that number, the comp will be capped there (or 16 if interest is much lower).
The
League Cups will kick us off, maybe in GW4. All 32 teams will be drawn against each other by our independent adjudicator MereNovice and teams will progress via a H2H knockout format. The Cup will progress weekly until we have a winner. £5 of each players £30 entry fee will go towards the prize pool.
Then the
FA Cup will start, maybe around GW12. It will work in the same way as the League Cup and progress in a knockout H2H format until we have a winner. £10 of each players £30 entry fee will go towards the prizepool.
Then the
Champions League will start, maybe around GW20. All entrants will be drawn out into 4 team groups. You will play 6 round robin games against each of your opponents with the top 2 qualifying for the last 16. Then there would be 2 leg ties played in a H2H format to get an eventual winner. £15 of each players £30 entry fee will go towards the prize fund.
If we end up with less than 32 runners, byes will be introduced on a random basis to fill the gaps. If you are drawn against a 'bye' you progress to the next round.
I hope that explains it? But feel free to ask for clarification on any point.
